Helldivers 2 is a cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, with a PlayStation 5 and Windows launch on 8 February 2024 and an Xbox Series X/S launch on 26 August 2025 after Nixxes Software built that port.

The game sold over 20 million copies and passed $700 million in revenue as of January 2026, including 12.6 million Steam copies, 5.4 million PlayStation 5 copies, and 1.4 million Xbox copies as of 23 October 2025.
